Chipotle Mexican Grill opens first restaurant in Mexico
Chipotle Mexican Grill opened its first restaurant in Mexico on July 16 in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, part of the Monterrey metropolitan area. The outlet is operated in partnership with restaurant operator Alsea under a development agreement announced in April 2025.
Chipotle and Alsea plan to add more locations in Nuevo León later this year and to expand into Mexico City by 2027. The launch is part of Chipotle’s broader international growth strategy; the company runs more than 4,100 restaurants worldwide and expects to open 350‑370 new sites in 2026. The Monterrey area was chosen for its strong economy, growing population and status as a major business hub.
Chipotle CEO Scott Boatwright and Alsea CEO Christian Gurría emphasized respect for Mexico’s culinary heritage and confidence that the brand will be warmly received by Mexican consumers.
